We have a lot of popular best sellers at the Waban Library Center – books that typically have long waiting lists at other libraries. We are also happy to take recommendations for books from our patrons. We also have a new collection of Playaways – all in one devices for you to listen to a favorite book. To request a book, please fill out the online form or call us during our open hours. We can not take book requests by email or by filling out the ask the librarian form.
